Re: Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX Edition Finally Ships
So, does the fact that no-one has posted anything yet in this thread more than two days after it was announced say anything at all about the need of a WiMAX tablet?

Well I am excited! I don't know about everyone else. I ordered mine yesterday (paid $25 for overnight) and it still isn't here. I won't even go into the convo I had w/ 3 reps in 2 hours over the phone.
Oh well, I guess I have to wait until Monday to really be happy. |

* People who never got in touch with Maemo will order this. * Not everyone is from USA or living in a covered area. * N900 details have been announced. I already own a N810, and I know the GPS is crap. I do like the color of the N810WME, and if there was WiMAX coverage here I would have bought it for a subscription of ~30 USD a month. |

Many users myself included have never seen WiMax in action. I have asked the few users who are in possession of a device for comments about it. Most of us have seen 3G and what its capable of on smartphones and tethering to our tablets so we have a better frame of reference when HSPA in Maemo 5 is referenced. Personally, I think that with a more robust network rollout a Wimax equipped tablet could give regular cellular networks a good run for their money. I believe you can do SMS over IP and of course we know about free ways of using VOIP. So the fact that you can get mobile talk/text/web and home talk/text/web for $50 flat rate is astounding and warrants more attention. |

Well, I see the potential of WiMAX, I was just a bit surprized that no-one had posted anything about it yet.
And maybe the reason for my sceptisicm has something to do with me living in Sweden, where WiMAX is pretty much unheard of... |
Re: Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX Edition Finally Ships
I'm having a hard time swallowing the need for WiMax when I have HSDPA coverage in more areas with my phone on ATT. I pay a fee for internet at my house and another fee for unlimited internet on my phone. Do I really need to pay another $50 a month for another internet connection? The people that are interested and using this; does this replace your home internet connection? Or can you really justify the extra expense a month for this access?
Just curious... |

Are there any N810W threads left that don't have this (old) news item posted in them?
